i like that ride....is that a body ron painted? if so its pretty sweet:wave:

[BIGDADDYV]

I had a fella out of Texas do that one for me ...... www.sicklidz.com Ben does really great work ....... I will try to get some more pics up when the weather breaks ....

I just hope I can get it to go as fast as i think she looks :D

[z-man280]

nice color choices as well...did Ben pick, or did you? either way, with those wheels, you NAILED that classic look.

[BIGDADDYV]

Its my design totally ... Ben did a fantastic job with the paint and the rest is on my bench history ...... LOL ......

I came up with the design from trying to do 3 things ...... Giving a nod to the Street Tuner scene, keeping my love of muscle cars and tech, and making a sleeper drag car .... I was looking basically for something you could find on a track, in a show, and in someones driveway all at the same time ......

these are some outside different views ......

looks great! what tires are those??? taller sidewalls than i am used to seeing, but it gives it such real car proportions....i would say you paid homage to all three very well.

[BIGDADDYV]

The rims and tires are HPI Vintage ... rears are 31 mm wiht a 6mm offset so ti giive the tail a 212mms

I'm diggin' the wheels big time. They remind me of torqthrusts. I could do without the CF hood and enormous wing (I'm not big on the tuner thing), but overall, it's beautiful. I LOVE that color.

(edit: Just answered my own question.)
